The Associate of Science degree with the Bachelor of Science degree level in the Health Science – Community and Public Health track has
many goals in common. This reflects the fact that students at the Associate’s level complete the same Year 1 and Year 2 program
requirements with students at the Bachelor’s level. However, because students at the Bachelor’s level are expected to achieve these goals
at a higher developmental level, they complete additional requirements in the third and fourth year of the program.
The Health Science program – Community and Public Health track is built on a strong liberal arts foundation with an appropriate balance
maintained among the three curricular components: The Major, General Education requirements, and Electives. The Associate of Science
in Community and Public health provides students with a broad understanding of community and public health theories and models their
application to real-world situations. The Bachelor of Science in Community and Public health provides a multi-disciplinary grounding in
factors influencing prevention of disease and the improvement of societal health.
Below is a recommended course selection plan for completing courses in the Health Science – Community and Public Health track. Please
note there is no particular order for selecting courses in the Health Science – Community and Public Health track as long as you meet
prerequisite requirements. Therefore, if you decide to follow a different plan for completing your degree program, that is completely fine.
Note:
1. As part of the Associate of Science curricular requirements, at least 3 courses including 1 course in Humanities (HU), 1 course in
the Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), and 1 course in the Natural Sciences and Technology (NST) areas, must be taken to
fulfill the Disciplinary Area of knowledge requirements. For the Bachelor of Science curricular requirements, at least 6 courses
including 2 courses in the Humanities (HU), 2 courses in the Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), 1 course in the Natural
Sciences and Technology (NST), and 1 course from a discipline other than your major, must be taken to fulfill the Disciplinary
Areas of Knowledge Requirements.
2. Elective courses can come from any general education course that did not fulfill the General Education requirement (including
the Disciplinary Areas of knowledge Requirements) or from any cross major elective or program elective.
